Apple Bows To Taylor Swift, Promises To Pay Artists During Apple Music Trial Period

After penning an open letter to Apple this morning over its policy of not paying artists during the three-month Apple Music trial period, Swift has received a reply from the company's head of Internet Software and Services, Eddy Cue.

For those playing at home, Eddy Cue got up on stage and introduced the world to Apple Music at this year's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco. He also dropped some amazing dad-style dance moves in the process.

Apple plans on giving all users on its iOS platform access to the Music app free of charge for three months, and according to Taylor the company won't pay artists for their streams for that period of time. Which sucks if you're not as rich and successful as Taylor Swift.
